I said she couldn't contend with the power - she would have never have faced anyone in the women's game at the time who hit a ball as hard as Serena did.

I absolutely know what Steffi could do - as I said she is my favourite ever female player and her fitness and the ability to grind out a shot from nothing were amazing but the raw power of Serena coupled with the newer rackets etc would have been, in my opinion, a different league to anything Stffi faced.

If Serena had to play a serve/volley game of tennis, I agree Steffi would wipe the floor with her (Serena relies on her power and strength and doesn't have a particularly intelligent game like Steffi did always being able to pull off an impossible shot), but Serena's serve alone would best Steffi's - far more power and consistency than Steffi had - even though she remains one of the best returners of serve in the game.

Its all subjective anyway but I can have my opinion and although I would love to be bias towards Steffi, I believe Serena would have beaten her.
